I gave up on the community events, I never get the 1st pony nor do I have the time to keep up with it.
I don't have all the helpers, guess it is set up to be possible only if you spend money on that  Helper pony you have to buy .

To earn Petuina Petals with all the helpers you need Kerfuffle and  Mayor Sunny Skies. I only have Barley Barrel. This is going to take a long time. :(

I think G2's inception is very interesting and I wish we knew more about it. All the amazing prototypes that have been unveiled raise a lot of questions. It's been rumored that G2 was originally being developed by Kenner as its own toyline, separate from MLP. But when Hasbro bought the company they slapped the MLP label on them. I'm somewhat sceptical to these rumors, but it would explain why the design is so drastically different to G1.

But G2 is unique in many ways compared to other generations. There is almost an "action figure" feel to them with the all the action features and the specialized accessories each pony came with. The accessories also told you a lot about each pony's personality/hobbies. So even though there was no cartoon or a lot of stories otherwise, the core characters seemed very well defined.

Then there's the evolution the line went through in Europe. Culminating in the very weird last years where it seems it was mainly Hasbro France in charge of production. Suddenly some ponies used their French (or English translations thereof) names even on the English parts of the packaging. There were ponies that had the exact same colors and symbols, but different names. Lots of reused and generic accessories, and everything seemed very hastily and randomly thrown together. But this also resulted in some very unique color schemes. And names that are nothing like MLPs from other generations (Like "Medicin" and "Miss Teacher") and seem like they were made up by someone whose native language was not English.

It's too bad Hasbro completely ignores G2 whenever MLP's history is brought up. I'm hoping it will be covered in the upcoming "Toys that made us" episode, but probably it'll get a passing mention at most if even that. :(
It was indeed that way , the first g2s that also were released in Usa have both Kenner and Hasbro logos on the cards :)
Hasbro bought many companies,The Royal G2 Castle was a Galoob Kissing Dragon Castle,after buying that company they revamped the Castle and voila, "New" play set :)
I own that Kissing Dragon Castle ,it actually is very fun , it has lights that activate with water, sadly all the high tech did not go into the MLP g2 castle .
The Garden play set was also a Kenner's LPS  play set , before it was revamped to be a G2 play set .

HOORAY! A thread for me! I will have to try to take pics of all my G2 beauties sometime. I actually happen to run a G2 appreciation blog on Tumblr, I just feel like it’s so underappreciated by some and wanted to have a place where its admirers can congregate! My fave always has been and will be Ivy. I think because her game was my favorite on the PC game growihg up.

I used to be on tumblr a lot, although since it scooter shinned itself I've stopped going on. I don't have too many memories of the game, but I remember spending the most time in Sweetberry's kitchen!

What about playsets? What’s everyone’s favorite playset? I love the wedding carriage. It’s such a lovely display in its box (and the little beanie g2s rest on top quite well...), and out of box (I have both...) is just fun. And the G2 castle is my favorite castle of all gens of MLP castles.

Good one... I think the Sailboat. It's just plain awesome!
Oh oh, do you know if it actually floats? Because that'd be more awesome!


 I does float and it works with batteries ,it has a propeller  , check the old commercial tv advert

I’m such a dum dum, I had gotten Amore last time and bought some of the helpers, so I got to the last fight with like 3 days to spare. I forgot you stop collecting crystals as soon as you defeat the last boss, so I ended the event with only 500 crystals. :mad: I could have gotten so many more gems if I had been collecting those last 3 days!
Yes I have done that in the past too, this time I ended it by mistake after collecting 50 k crystals , I got 30 gems for them, I could have gotten  more but I fat fingered it somehow  and it was over .

It was over and done after that, I wasn't able to get more crystals. So whatever there is left will probably converted to gems.
thanks for the info, I will just have to continue to collect the crystals until is close to end time then, and see how many gems I get for them
